Ben Drury, who in 2006 teamed up with Nike to create the “Air U Breathe” air max 1, designed this air max 90 current. This Ben Drury creation is made up of an all black base, infrared swoosh, all white midsole and a black and white checkered sock liner. The regular Nike tongue tag is replaced with an oh 8 tag. These should be available soon at select Nike accounts.

The Air Jordan XV debuted in 2000 and wasnt touched again until its 2007 retro. The first colorway retroed was the OG black and red colorway from which this shoe takes after. Unlike the OG or retro this black/red colorway features red along the midsole. More red accents can also be found on the sock liner and lace hoops. These dont release until November, giving those undecided minds more than enough time to mull it over. Source: sportsboy

Using Team USA’s navy, red and white colors, Nike has created another pack of Olympic based shoes. This pack includes three models – the Blazer, Rejuven8 and Delta Force.

These shoes are very simple and good for those looking to steer away from loud colors. I really like the use of glossy patent leather in the Delta Force. These shoes are expected to be relased this Friday, August 8th to celebrate the opening of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. Friday will be a great day for sneakerheads with dozens of different Olympic-inpired shoes being released. Via Sneaker Files.

Hanon-shop and New Balance have come together to produce these new running shoes, which feature a classic look and customized materials.

These shoes use a waterproof fabric that was utilized in World War II for flying suits. On the tongue tag, you will find a plane logo. They combine this unique material, along with superior leather, sueded pigskin, a mesh tongue and Ventile smart fabric to create this pack of M670’s.

These sneakers come in two colorways – black/yellow/red and grey/yellow/black. The black version is more bold, while the grey is much more subtle. These shoes are being released late in August and limited to just 150 pairs. They will be priced at 74.95 GBP at the Hanon-shop. Via Hypebeast.

He applied his skills to shoe designing.Flores’ art has a futuristic perspective that is identified and shared by many people. Fans like his art because it appeals to them.

Sam Flores talked about his design for this sneaker. He said that his objective was to make a colorful sneaker for warm weather. He chose neutral colors to win the approval of male and female customers. He said that those colors could take in some dust and still look good. In short, the maintenance was low.

Sam has worked with Upper Playground in other projects too. He will be working on vinyl figures for Upper Playground’s tenth anniversary celebrations.

This is a good looking shoe and I definitely would like to own a pair.

Interaxionne Footwear created the Soka University Dunk Lows for a student who wanted to honor the California private college in a unique way. Soka University of America is located in Aliso Viejo, California which means that the student will be able to wear these kicks year round without worrying about snow or cold weather. The university was established in 2001 though its reputation matches some of the finest private colleges on the West Coast.

These Dunks feature the Soka University logo on the tongue as an initial identifier for the wearer’s friends and colleagues. Interaxionne added a black and white image of a lion to show off the school’s mascot in an appropriate manner. The blue/gold colors of Soka University are applied sparingly on these shoes to celebrate the school’s growing reputation without using an excessive amount of paint.
